Considered one of the most beautiful cities in the Adriatic, images of its medieval old town Stari Grad and orange terracotta roofs framed by dramatic cliffs and glass-like water have lured many travellers here. Sure, it can be overrun with day-trippers, but avoid the main streets in the UNESCO-protected old town and it’s easy to find solace down a winding cobblestone walkway leading toward the outer stone walls. Duck into an Ottoman-inspired bazaar, people-watch from an outdoor patio, admire one of the historic churches, or get your feline fix by cuddling one of the city’s stray cats which are famously well-cared for by locals and tourists alike.
